Polygon is a layer-2 solution built on the Ethereum blockchain to enhance efficiency and reduce transaction costs. In this article, we will explore what Polygon is, why it is used, and how it improves scientific publishing on LibScience.
What is Polygon?
Polygon is a “layer 2” for the Ethereum blockchain, acting as an intermediary layer that allows Ethereum to be used more efficiently. It processes transactions off the main Ethereum chain, reducing costs and improving transaction speed.
Why Use Polygon?
- Efficiency: Polygon enables the rapid processing of a large number of transactions at a lower cost, which is essential for applications requiring high scalability.
- Cost Reduction: By handling transactions off the main chain, Polygon lowers transaction fees, making blockchain technology more accessible.
- Compatibility: Polygon is fully compatible with Ethereum, allowing developers to leverage Ethereum’s advantages while benefiting from Polygon’s efficiency.
